The silent fragrance is like a gossamer, trying to push me away, but I don't have enough power.

"Sister...... Don't, leave me alone, you, you let her beat me to death! Wait for me...... When I'm dead, I'll turn into a ghost and come back for revenge! ”

"Mo Xiang, hold on, I'll protect you!" This time, I will never watch her disappear before my eyes again, and there is nothing I can do. Even if it is to fight for my life, I want to protect her.

The feeling of the skin opening and the flesh blooming, I wanted to faint immediately, but the pain was still clear, so I could only grit my teeth and taste the blood in my mouth.

Before I lost consciousness completely, I saw the familiar figure hurriedly walking from a distance, and the tense nerves relaxed for a moment, and the whole person was paralyzed to the ground, unable to support it anymore.

"Stop!!"

Chu Nantang rushed forward angrily, pushed the family away, stepped forward to check my injuries, and saw that there was blood on my clothes, and my pupils contracted, which made people feel a chill rise up on their backs.

He straightened my sweaty hair and looked solemn: "Does it hurt?" I've already called the doctor to come over and hold on for a while. ”

I smiled at him feebly, "You're here...... It doesn't hurt. ”

His eyes turned red, he took a deep breath and hugged me into his arms: "Sleep for a while." ”

"Hmm." I leaned into his arms, my consciousness sinking into endless darkness.

After that, I didn't know how to deal with the matter, Mo Xiang and I lay on the bed for half a month before we could walk on the ground.

Mo Xiang was hurt more seriously than me, and when I was a little better, I took care of her.

"What's going on between you and Young Master Chu?" Mo Xiang lay on the bed, and didn't forget to gossip to have fun.

I sighed and put the medicine on the quilt for her: "Don't gossip, see if you have to suffer next time you have a conflict with someone." ”

"I've heard about it, when you were injured by Jiang Rongwan, Young Master Chu was angry, I haven't seen Young Master Chu lose his temper so much, and he said Jiang Rongwan fiercely, and Jiang Rongwan also said that he cried!"

My heart jumped suddenly, and I didn't respond to Mo Xiang's words, and I got up and walked out.

After finishing the meal, he just sat next to Xiao Xi'er, and Xiao Xi didn't say a word as if avoiding the plague, so he quickly turned around. After a while, everyone was almost gone.

The reason for avoiding me may be related to Jiang Rongwan, who was returning from cooking for Mo Xiang, and overheard someone chewing the root of his tongue under the tree in the yard.

"I can't see that Zen heart, it's quite handy, Young Master Chu has never been so concerned about anyone."

"I don't know people and faces, I used to think that Mo Xiang was a master who was not easy to mess with, but I didn't expect that the person who was deep in the city was the one who usually looked temperless."

"But she doesn't have any good fruit to eat, after all, Miss Jiang is the future lady of Young Master Chu."

……

Ayutthaya? I sighed lightly and threw the words behind me.

As the saying goes, who doesn't talk about people behind their backs, and who doesn't get said behind their backs? Remarks that upset oneself. Why should you listen to your heart?

After a few days, my injuries were almost healed, and I saw the big girl in the house, Red Bean, coming to urge people.

"Hey, my aunt, you're finally fine."

Yin and Yang were weird, listening to some reaction in my heart, I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled: "Sister Hongdou, are you looking for me?" ”

"Isn't it? Recently, there has been a bit of a shortage of manpower in the house, and a lot of work has been left on hold. The sisters in the house are busy panting like dogs, but some people are really lucky, and they really think that they are the eldest lady. The young lady almost didn't serve tea and water, and waited for her to eat. ”

"I'm almost healed from my injuries, give me any work, I'll do it now."

"By the way, the west courtyard has been empty, Miss Jiang has been living in Mrs. Jiang's yard for so long, and this lady said to clean it up and let Miss Jiang move over."

"Got it." Just as I was about to leave, Azuki grabbed me again.

"Don't forget to carry a bucket of water, the floor, the tables and chairs, all have to be cleaned properly. Go ahead. ”

When I carried a bucket of water through the yard, I bumped into someone head-on, and all the buckets of water I had managed to carry were spilled.

Looking up, it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with a handsome face, wearing a linen shirt, gray cloth shoes, and a board head, very energetic.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry to bump into you. Are you okay? He stepped forward and helped me up.

I couldn't help but look at him twice, and in the next second, my heart suddenly tightened, and I staggered back a few steps.

He looked at me in surprise, subconsciously touched his face, and laughed twice in embarrassment: "Girl, I'm not a bad person, my name is Shen Qiushui, and the Shen Nursing Home here is my father, don't be afraid." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the bucket for me: "I'll go fetch water for you, you wait." ”

"Eh......" I was about to stop him, but this man was so fast, and he disappeared as soon as he ran.

After waiting for a while, he carried a bucket of water in one hand, very relaxed: "This is very heavy, you have to carry it hard, I will send it for you." I should apologize for the recklessness just now. ”

"Thank you." Although the current Shen Qiushui is 108,000 miles away from the Shen Qiushui I know, there are still some obstacles in my heart after all.

Delivering the water to the West Courtyard, he asked me suspiciously: "You are cleaning such a large land, just by yourself?" ”

"Like." I guess the red bean won't call someone to help.

"I may not be able to clean it all in one day and one night." He said with a righteous face: "Now the Chu family is so slammed? It's too unkind to call the maid to work like this. One day, when I saw Young Master Chu, I had to say it well. ”

After hearing this, I couldn't help laughing, Shen Qiushui when he was a teenager turned out to be like this, upright and righteous.

"It's okay, I'll clean slowly by myself, and I can always clean it in two days."

"I'll have time tomorrow afternoon, and I'll help you. I've got to go now, oh yes......" He took two steps and turned back and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Zen mind."

"Zen ......," he said, "I remember, see you tomorrow!" ”

In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Rongwen came to inspect the work and couldn't help but start a fire.

"How did you clean it? Are you lazy again? You've cleaned up so much for so long? I'm moving in tomorrow, how can I live there?! ”

I didn't want to refute her, so as not to cause any more extraneous branches, but people can't always endure it like this, and there is no resistance at all. It's just going to make people bully you even more.

"Miss Jiang, I'm cleaning alone in the West Courtyard, if you really want to move in as soon as possible, you can send two more people to clean it."

Ping'er, who had just been promoted to the eldest girl, didn't wait for the master to give an order, and raised her hand and gave me a slap: "You are so bold, you dare to disobey our young lady!" Our young lady is merciful, so she didn't tell Madame about your bad habits, and if Madame knew about it, she would definitely expel you from the house!" ”

There was a hot pain on my face, I tightened the rag in my hand, resisted the urge to shake their faces, pursed my lips and said, "I'll speed up." ”

When Jiang Rongwen left. happened to meet Shen Qiushui rushing over, and the two met in a hurry. Shen Qiushui never forgot it, and asked me vigorously: "Who was that beauty just now?" Why haven't I seen it in the Chu family before? ”

"Eh, why don't you speak? What's wrong with your face? Who hit you just now? Shen Qiushui reached out to check my injuries, and I hurriedly dodged.

"It's okay, thank you for coming, I'm going to work."

"You girl, it's weird, okay, work!"

He helped me with my work all afternoon, and in the evening, I said, "Go back first." It's too late now. ”

"But you ......"

"It's okay, I can do it alone."

He thought about it for a while, smiled slyly, walked up to me and bumped me with his elbow: "In exchange, who is that little beauty during the day?" ”

I sighed lightly: "Her name is Jiang Rongwen." ”

"Jiang Rongwen? People are good-looking, and their names are also very good! ”

I added again: "It's Young Master Chu's fiancée." ”

His face changed twice, and he turned away dejectedly. I turned my head to see his thin back and left, and buried my head in my work as I got on.

I didn't dare to rest, although I was so tired that I didn't even want to move a finger anymore, but Jiang Rongwen was going to move in tomorrow, and if I didn't hurry up and clean it up now, it would be inevitable that Ming'er would have extraneous branches.

I didn't eat dinner, and my stomach was rumbling with hunger. I couldn't move, so I sat in the corner and rested for a while, then took out a cold bun from my arms and ate it in a big bite.

I comforted myself and acted in a disorderly manner, so I was tempted to endure it.

Half of the bun was bitten, and I heard the faint sound of footsteps outside, I quickly swallowed the rest of the bun into my stomach, almost choked half to death, and handed over a cup of soup, I didn't think much about it at the time, took the soup and swallowed the bun in a big gulp.

When I looked up, I saw that it was Grandma Sun. Although I was frightened, I calmed down afterwards, after all, Grandma Sun was from Chu Nantang's side, and seeing her kind smile, my heart gradually relaxed.

"Mama Sun."

"Eh, it's so late, why are you still busy?"

"I ...... I'm done with it quickly. ”

Grandma Sun opened the food box she brought and took out the food one by one: "The young master ordered the old slaves to come over, eat quickly, look at you, what have you been tossing into?" ”

My eyes were hot, and I took a deep breath, but I didn't expect him to remember me. He has me in his heart, and no matter how bitter he eats, it is sweet.

"Thank you, thank you Grandma Sun, thank you Young Master Chu."

I took the dishes and chopsticks and ate quickly, thinking that after eating, I would finish the work as soon as possible, and maybe I could take a nap when I went back in three or four days.

"Eat slowly, you're in such a hurry, you're choking again." Grandma Sun smoothed my back and said, "The little master hasn't come to see you recently, but I actually remember you very much." ”

I pursed my lips and whispered, "I know." ”

He was right not to come to see me, after all, because of what happened last time, it was unpleasant, he was a young master, and no one dared to show him his face. But I'm different, and if he's too frank, it will put me in a more difficult situation.

"Sensible child." Mama Sun smiled: "You are very suitable for the young master's eyes, I have taken care of the young master for so many years, and I know him best." ”

After hearing this, I couldn't help but ask her curiously: "Young Master Chu has a very good temperament, and everyone must like him very much." ”

Mama Sun nodded: "Yes, although the little young master is young, he is very sleek and sleek!" Hehehe...... But there is no true friend or confidant. ”

"I see." After thinking about Grandma Sun's words, I couldn't help but feel warm: "Mama, you go back and tell him that I won't be angry with him, no matter what he does, I understand that he must have his reasons." ”

Grandma Sun took a deep breath and nodded: "No wonder the little young master protects you so much, but there is something to be loved." Be patient and wait a little longer. ”

With that, she left. I don't understand, what can I do if I wait a little longer?

As a result, that night, until dawn, the plan to go back and take a nap was also ruined. Fortunately, Jiang Rongwan moved into the South Courtyard smoothly and did not look for trouble.

After some time, I heard that the eldest maid in Young Master Chu's room had promised a marriage, and the lord and his wife returned her deed of sale and let her out of the house.

At this moment, the maids in the house became lively, and they all wondered in their hearts, which maid would be promoted by Young Master Chu.

Mo Xiang lay down for more than a month before her body and bones became better and she was able to get out of bed and do some simple work.

Hearing that Young Master Chu was going to carry a maid up, he ran to me happily: "Sister! Sister! Have you heard? Young Master Chu wants to promote a maid! If we can go up, hmph, then the screen will be shorter than us! ”

"Oh."

"Oh what?! Young Master Chu will definitely choose you, why are those maids? Or sister, you are gentle and virtuous, have a good temperament, and will make people happy, and most importantly, like me, you look like a flower! ”

I lifted my forehead and sighed lightly: "Before everything is a foregone conclusion, you can't go outside and talk nonsense, you know?" ”

"Hehe~ I know, I will never talk nonsense, it will ruin the good things of you and Young Master Chu, sister."

Hearing this sentence made my face hot for a while: "Mo Xiang, don't talk nonsense!" Not to mention whether it will fall on our heads, even if we are promoted, it will be just a maid. ”

The old concept of the door is too strong. I will never let a famous young master marry a maid, even if it is a down-and-out famous lady, it is better than a maid!

After a day's work, I didn't sleep for a day and a night, I couldn't move anymore when I lay on the bed, through the propped up window, the spring snow also melted, tonight the moon is full, he is such an elegant person, tonight will be about to enjoy the moon.

After all, I haven't seen him for more than a month. Although they are in the same house, but the people at the bottom are working all day long, where can they see the owner here?

Why is it so hard to love one? In the future, he is a ghost and I am a human, and people and ghosts have different paths. Back in the past, he is a young master, I am a maid, I can only look up.

When it came to choosing the eldest girl, Mrs. Chu followed Chu Nantang, and Chu Nantang was also very low-key, and only sent Grandma Sun to come over to pick up people.

A large number of maids were crowded in the stuffy hut, waiting with anticipation, it was always different around Young Master Chu, and there was no one in this house who didn't want to go to Chu Nantang's yard to wait.

After all, Grandma Sun had seen a big scene, and she brought two old grandmothers behind her and picked me out of the crowd.

"You come with me."

I blessed my body: "Yes, Mama." ”

Grandma Sun asked her two grandmothers to take me down, changed and washed, and brought me a new lotus-colored dress for me to change into.

Looking at the new person in the mirror, I couldn't help but smile lightly, I was about to see him.

Grandma Sun took me to Young Master Chu's courtyard and knocked on the door first: "Little Master, someone brought it to you." ”

"Come in." The voice that has not been seen for a long time seems to be in a good mood, bright and hearty.

I walked into the house with Grandma Sun, and saw Chu Nantang with a smile on his face, classifying the books in his hand and putting them on the shelf, and strode forward.

He put his arm on my shoulders, looked at me for a long time, and nodded, "It's good to dress up like this." ”

"Young Master Chu......"

Mama Sun smiled: "The old slave won't bother the little master, retire." ”

After Grandma Sun left, Chu Nantang took my hand and said, "Come here, I have something to show you." ”

He unfolded the scroll on the bookcase, and in a picture of a cold winter red plum, there stood a young girl, and the girl painted my face.

"This ...... It's me? ”

"I didn't think much of it at the time, and I wrote in a hurry. Next time, I'll draw a serious one. ”

He probably didn't want to paint me at the time, and somehow added me to this picture of red plums in winter.

I smiled and stroked the painting that still had the fragrance of ink: "Young Master Chu, you ...... Can you give it to me? ”

"Hmm." He rolled up the painting and handed it to me: "It was originally for you." ”

I was holding the painting, and the two of them stood opposite each other, and I couldn't find a suitable topic for a while.

I took a deep breath: "Young Master Chu, what am I going to do in the future?" ”

He thought for a moment and said, "Just stay with me." ”

"But...... Isn't that right? ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's rare for me to have someone who can speak, Zen heart, and only in front of you, I'm the real me, and I feel very comfortable and relaxed with you."

At first, I was a little uncomfortable, but then I got used to it.

When he said to accompany him, he really only accompanied him. Painting, playing the harp, feeding fish, raising flowers, wandering, and occasionally going to the streets to help the poor......

Sure enough, as he said, in this life, he is a complete idle rich young master.

Grandma Sun will make a lot of delicious food, all kinds of dim sum, at first I was very happy to eat, seeing that I love to eat, Chu Nantang asked Grandma Sun to change the way to do it.

Until I ate it like this for a month, I was too tired to do it. Until Mo Xiang also complained: "Sister, don't bring me snacks next time, look at my face, I'm fat!" ”

Saying that, she squeezed her white face, I swallowed my saliva quietly, and subconsciously squeezed my face: "Then, what about me?" ”

"Sister, you used to be as thin as a bamboo pole, but I haven't seen you for a month, and you have already grown into bamboo shoots."

I tugged at the corners of my mouth and couldn't laugh.

The next day, I slept until three strokes in the morning, only to realize that it was too late.

I turned over to fetch water, hurriedly washed my face, and saw Chu Nantang come back with breakfast, steamed buns filled with plum vegetables, hand-ground soy milk, and a few cold dishes.

When he saw me, he smiled: "Up?" Let's have breakfast. ”

I shuddered: "I'm sorry young master!" I'm ...... I overslept. ”

"Rest assured. I won't tell Grandma Sun. ”

When I breathed a sigh of relief, he sat down at the table, took a bun, took a bite of it contentedly, and added: "When Grandma Sun sent the face wash, she saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I asked her not to call you." ”

At that moment, as if a thunder was rolling down, I staggered two steps and took a breath: "Young Master, if I oversleep next time, you must not be polite to me." ”

"Okay." He said yes.

Seeing that I was still stunned, I turned my head and said, "Come and have breakfast together." ”

"The maid can't have breakfast at the same table as the young master." If you are seen, you must not make irresponsible remarks.

"It's in my yard. In my room, if someone really says something, that person ......" Chu Nantang sighed lightly: "I don't know each other." ”

So I sat down and had breakfast with him, and when I was almost done, I asked him, "Master, what are we going to do today?" ”

He thought for a moment and said, "I heard Qiushui say that in the pond of a farmer's house not far from here, lotus flowers are blooming. ”

"So ......"

"We can go and enjoy the lotus."

Chu Nantang brought the four treasures of the study over, saying that if Xingzhi came, he could paint a picture of the spring color of the lotus pond.

Shen Qiushui drove two horses over, one white and one black.

"Young master, I waited until my hair turned gray, why did I come out?"

Chu Nantang glanced at me, I would come to my senses, and stepped forward and handed him the food box.

"This, for you to keep, the dim sum made by Grandma Sun can be eaten when you are hungry when you enjoy the lotus. There is also tea in it, so farmers can boil water to make tea, right? ”

Shen Qiushui wiped a cold sweat: "Get on the horse, it's estimated that it's noon when you rush over." ”

Today the sky is clear, the sky is clear and blue, and in the future there will be no such clear blue.

Shen Qiushui handed out his hand to me: "Come up!" ”

I looked back at Chu Nantang, Chu Nantang thought for a while and said, "My riding skills are not very good, for the sake of safety, let Qiushui give you a ride." ”

When he said this, my face felt a burst of heat: "I, I didn't mean that......"

"When I practice my riding skills, I won't bother Qiushui in the future."

Shen Qiushui looked helpless: "Young master, you have to take it easy, seven years ago, you fell off the horse, and I was chased from the street to the end of the street by my father." ”

"It's a big fuss, but you're always careful, so I'm not good at riding."

I was surprised to see them get along. I didn't expect them to have such a friendly relationship.

Shen Qiushui carried me, he also took off the reins of a wild horse, I could only hold his waist, he raised his long whip and ran the horse around the bend, and ran back.

"Young master, you're riding a master's horse, hahahaha......"

Chu Nantang sighed speechlessly: "In order not to be held by your father, I chased from the end of the town to the end of the town, so let's ride it leisurely." Don't drop your Zen heart. ”

"Don't worry, your Zen heart will be handed over to me!"

My heart skipped a beat, and although it was a joke, it made me think of a lot of things I didn't want to think about.

Several people came to the lotus pond of the farmer in a fight, the farmer made a living by planting lotus roots, planted several acres of lotus seedlings, now it is the season when the lotus is in full bloom, a large piece of red and green, Xu Feng sent a fragrance, took a deep breath, the whole world is beautiful.

I took out the dim sum I brought, Chu Nantang ate dim sum and liked to eat it with tea, I admonished: "Young master, I'll go to the farmer's house and boil the pot of tea." ”

Chu Nantang turned around and smiled comfortably: "You go, I and Qiushui will enjoy the flowers first." ”

When I boiled the tea, I was so frightened that Shen Qiushui had already taken Chu Nantang to the water to pick lotus flowers.
